I have got to say that this story had be at the first sentence and I didn't stop until it was done. You are an awesome writer and this story gives those that love Daniel/Samantha pairing something to look forward to. I can't wait to read more of your work. If you had published a book that had this quailty of detail I would buy every one. This story rocks and good luck on the award...
Author's Response:Hi,
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond, but the site has been down. Thanks for the very kind review. I loved writing this story, it just meant so much to me
I am glad that you liked it too. I hope to write more and I do have some other works on the main Helio site and also at fanfiction.net. As for the award...well..
who knows. Thanks again for taking the trouble to write in, it is very much appreciated.
Wow... this was so beautifully done. What a fantastic job. I hope you write more s/d, you have a real knack for it!
Author's Response:Thank you for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed the story. This was my first Stargate fanfic, so i am glad that it was positively received. I love the Sam/Daniel pairing.
Receiving feedback is always very much appreciated, so thanks again for taking the time to write in.

WOW! <turning up the fan on high> You really need to try publishing some original work. Your writing is better than much of the published books I've read.
Just beautiful...
Author's Response:Thank you for the review. I loved writing this story, it almost wrote itself actually. I thought the show had not addressed serious subjects
such as torture and it's implications. I knew Sam would be a stoic, strong and would keep the military ethos of never giving anything away, but
I wanted to delve into how Daniel would feel about it all, especially as he cares deeply for her. I hope that i managed to capture everything correctly. Your review is much appreciated.
Awesome Story! Loved it! And to those who dislike this ship... On his death bed Sam tell Daniel, " I don't know why we wait to tell people how we really feel. I guess I hoped that you always knew." I think it's that almost confession of love on his death bed that Daniel remembers in the tent and asks Sam, "Was there anything between us?" Good for you for seeing the things between the lines! Fun read, tastefuly done...Write MORE!!!
Author's Response:Thank you so much for your review. I'm glad you liked the story. As a writer it is always nice to know that all your hard work is appreciated.
I'm glad that you see the ship angle the way that i do and i really love that scene in Meridian that you mentioned, even if it is so really
hard to watch. As for writing more...i'll try, but i love to write darker stories, which delve into the minds and psyches of the characters and
these unfortunately take a long time to explore and develop, let alone write. I am trying to write other stories at the moment and once i have one
that i think is good enough to be read i'll post it either here on on Fanfiction net, so keep checking in.

I so love this story, you wrote it with such respect and care that I’m sad it has ended.
I for one think that Jack/Sam where suppose to be together, thanks to tptb we where left wondering, so until there is a reasonable clue that they are together I won’t go against any other shipper for Sam/Daniel, matter of fact I always thought that behind that careful treatment towards each other, Sam and Daniel had other kind of feelings towards each.
Yes they look like brother and sister BUT the fact that Daniel kind of knew of Jack and Sam’s “feeling’s” may have stop him from doing anything else.
So I really love this Fic. Thank you for your muse. And you did a good job in the scene they are together.
Ps. From where did you took those words, the ones Sam tells Daniel at the end of the story?
And I have to tell you ,I had to ask for my password again so I could leave a comment.
Author's Response:Thank you so much for the comment. I'm really glad you like the story. I have to admit that the Ancient words that Daniel uses are made up. Just me and my muse I'm afraid. That said I thought that they would have to be something from Daniel's heart, so I let that part of my muse take over. They were actually easy to write and came to me right away. The most trouble I had was finding the right word for 'I love you'. As Ancient is supposed to be linked to Latin I used the Latin version.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond. I really appriciate it.

Great story. I'm more of a Sam/Jack fan myself but I really enjoyed this. Ignore the other review about putting Daniel and Sam together being sick. Everyone should feel free to write what they want (it's all fan fiction after all, emphasis FICTION). This was a beautifully written and sensitive story. Good job.
Author's Response:Gosh thank you so much, you don't know what that means. I really didn't realise that i might need a fire extinguisher to put out the flames i might get. :-) I'm really glad that you liked the story. As you say it is a work of fiction after all. I guess people will be in their various camps regarding the best pairings. I'm Sam/Daniel and always will be, but i respect everyone else's viewpoints.
<>Ep Fallen:CARTER: "Yeah?"
DANIEL: "Was there ever anything...between us?"
CARTER(with a repulsed expression): "Us, uh...no, no, not in that way. We - we were really, really good friends."
Sam and Daniel never had the kind of feelings you are writing them they have. Their bond has always been more sibling-like than anything else. And putting two people who had always been more like siblings in a sexual relationship... it's so wrong on so many levels there aren't enough levels to say how wrong it is.
Please sort out the paragraph spacing. The story is impossible to read like this.
Author's Response:Are you talking about when it was all bunched up together? I have now fixed that and the paragraphs in the chapters now look ok.
Let me know if there is still a problem as I'd hate to go to all this trouble of posting it for it to be fouled up by the paragraph structure.
